Overview of 1974 Volkswagen Karmann Ghia For Sale by Owner

Volkswagens of today are true feats of engineering; they are the golden standard across multiple segments of buyers. This superior feat is nothing short of amazing and places itself as a serious contender, be it a hot hatch eating up sports cars or even high-end hypercars flying underneath another banner. Turn back the clock, and this seriousness was not apparent. Back in the 60s and 70s, Volkswagen was a brand that was the golden standard of its time, plus being an automaker that had soul and color. This may be a statement many don't agree with, but this 1974 Volkswagen Karmann Ghia we have today might make you think about it. This classic German beauty has a reported over 75,000 miles on its clock and stems from a time when Volkswagen was all about peace, love, and good drives.

Exterior and Interior

Out of Volkswagen's entire lineup in the 70s, the Karmann Ghia really stood out with its curves and iconic features. This 1974 Volkswagen Karmann Ghia does a perfect job of highlighting that iconic design with an orange exterior. The current owner reports that the car has been repainted orange and features a clean exterior that houses all the car's chrome components. Serving as this machine's shoes is a set of steel wheels finished off in black and period-correct Volkswagen hubcaps. The catchy theme continues onto the two-tone black and orange interior of this 1974 Volkswagen Karmann Ghia. Step in and you would find the bare essentials for a good drive - a period-correct steering wheel, gauges to monitor performance, and Karmann Ghia badging.

Engine

The throwback to the good old days doesn't stop with design; while modern Volkswagens are razor-focused performance powerhouses, sometimes life in the slow lane is what's required for a good time behind the wheel. Make your way to the rear of this 1974 Volkswagen Karmann Ghia, and what you will find in place is Volkswagen's original recipe for good times - a 1,600cc air-cooled boxer four motor thumping away and ready for its next adventure. A closer look at the engine bay reveals color-matched components that match the exterior. In terms of power delivery, this machine channels all its performance to its rear wheels through a four-speed manual transmission.
